A further possible error on this one.

According to Vodacom’s statistics there were 2,190,850 Android tablets and smartphones on its network in March 2013. This is up from 1,450,000 in September.

Should this not be March 2014, as the rest of the article points to March 2014?

Quite right, thank you.

Some people in the Stellenbosch area reporting that they could connect to and use the free Wi-Fi network, while others said that they could not use the service.

The word "are" should be added, or "reporting" changed to "reported".

Fixed, thanks.

The TV features 3 x USB ports, 3 x [highlight]USB[/highlight] ports and Wi-Fi connectivity.

Sounds unlikely that a TV would have 6 USB ports. HDMI?

Fixed, thank you.

[-]it[/-] masts ruin

'It ruin' sounds odd , 'it ruins' is correct. 'They ruin' is fine also

I used strike-through on "[-]it[/-]" and suggested replacing "it ruins" with "masts ruin", I would have to be quite inebriated to suggest "it ruin".

I really don't see the point of this thread. So now we find a fault or two in a news article or thread and we're supposed to go looking for this thread to draw attention to the other thread? Quickest solution is just to rbp the thread or post with the error. It eliminates the need for this thread.

 

[mercurial]

Aah, makes sense. I wasn't aware of that.

The real issue is that reports in this thread are not always acted upon. Consequently the incorrect gramer and speling persist, reinforcing the common impression of shabby journalism and inaccurate reporting.

On the National Carpentry Scale MyBB journalism currently runs at about 30% for Woodwork most of the time, IMHO. A tad better than Julius admittedly, but only just scraping a pass.

We do try to act on all the reports in this thread, though it is possible that some slip through the cracks (vBulletin's e-mail notification isn't always perfect).

If there is something we've missed, please feel free to direct me at the article in question.
